The summer is the riskiest time of year for hearing aids!
Hearing aids can:
• Get lost on days at the beach
• Be forgotten about when jumping into the pool
• Clogged with sand
• Moist from sweat
Here are some tips to protect your hearing aids during these summer months!
1) Keep up with daily cleaning!
Use the brush to clean hearing aid microphones
Wipe down the hearing aids using a microfiber cloth
Change wax filters when necessary
2) Use a drying kit or desiccant to place next to your hearing aids at night
3) Place your hearing aids inside nylon sleeves to protect them from moisture
4) Remember to place your hearing aids in a portable pouch before going in the pool or onto
the sand. Don’t put them in your pocket!
5) Use an otoclip to clip your hearing aids to your shirt while playing sports
6) Visit your provider to have your hearing aids cleaned and checked to make sure they are
working properly for those summer activities!
Enjoy your summer!
